Mos Def Demonstrates Guantanamo Force Feeding

[Mytical]

As somebody who has had a somewhat violent reaction to a breathing tube, I am guessing a feeding tube might be a bit worse..but that is a guess. Of course my reaction to the tube was a combination of many things.

1) A severe gag reflex. I have a very very strong gag reflex, as three doctors, several nurses, and several orderlies can attest too. *chuckles* I've woken just a bit early while having an endoscopy, not a pleasant scene OR experience.

2) Medication. I was seriously medicated.

3) Being a lot stronger then I look/appear. A LOT stronger.

and

4) Bleeding of my esophagus..so my throat was already not happy.

Now I was out of it, but by all accounts it took anywhere from 4-8 (depending on who is telling the tale..the doctors said 8, family said 4..*shrugs*) orderlies to hold me down..as I did NOT want the breathing tube in. They had to end up strapping me down.

However, even with ALL of that my reaction was nowhere near as bad as what the video showed. So, yeah..don't buy it for a moment.

I've seen reactions that strong: usually by otherwise healthy individuals who ingested a substance we are trying to "pump and dump."

There was a case called Estelle v Getty?

I shouldn't laugh, but I am....

Yeah, you should laugh . . . at my brain fart I meant Estelle v Gamble.

I suppose Estelle v. Getty would have established the right of senior citizens to have active sex lives. *nodnod*

Anyway, yeah, this is propaganda. And it's the most effective type of propaganda. The type that is, technically, true. True enough you can convince yourself that it's real. If you can fool the teller, you can fool the person being told. I'm sure that Mos Def believed that this is how it goes down, on a regular basis. The procedure is, technically speaking, what is done, yes. He just makes it more dramatic.

Exactly. He just leaves out key details . . . like the state the inmate would likely be in by the time this procedure would be performed.

I have no doubt this video is being circulated among jihadists in the Middle East to stir them up against America. Mos Def really did not do our country any favors for this, even though he is within his First Amendment rights to do it.
